Enneagram Type 5 Board Archive Re: why watch out for 2s?Posted by Chuck on July 30, 2000 at 13:36:27: In Reply to: why watch out for 2s? posted by yossarian on July 30, 2000 at 13:04:57: Yes, I am warning 2's to be the third party and I do think it is critically important to understand 5 in triadic structures. This is just my 2-cents. 9's are after the wholeness and most 5's are thinking types and they cannot totally fullfil 9's expectations. 5's tends to be objective but insensitive even they mean well. 2's, on the other hand, sharply contrasts the weakness of 5's and they will impress 9's with what 5's lack. 2's has no trouble to spot unhappiness of 9's who has relationship with 5's. This is generally true, 2's are the most opposite of 5's, on every dimenssion. 5's tend to be thinking, 2's are feeling, 2's are judging and 5's are percieving, 5's tend to be intuition and 2's are sensing and all that. 7's on the other hand, have too much in common with 5's. I recall that many have argued that moving from 5 to 7 is unhealthy and 9 can tell that. ___________________________________________________
: : Assuming you have a relationship with a 9, what could be a potential threat to you relationship from someone who is not a 5? (This question apply to all other types you, as a 5, might have a relationship with....) : : For this instance (5-9), I'd like to single out 2's to be the most dangerous threat. A longe relationship with 5's can make 2's appear very applealing to 9's. : : In other word, if you are 5, please keep a healthy jealousy against 2's.
